For the funeral prayer of 'Mir's' body, the curse of that headless body was a great ordeal at the feast.

This couplet is a deeply melancholic reflection on the universal nature of sorrow. It suggests that while few people were granted the honor of performing the funeral rites for Mir Taqi Mir, the pain and grief associated with his passing were felt by everyone, everywhere. The 'bala' (affliction) of losing a master poet like him was so profound that it transcended mere proximity. It speaks to the lasting impact of genius—a sorrow that touches the entire world, not just those who knew him.
